Chapter 149 A Kiss To Alleviate The Pain
After giving it some thought, he decided it wouldn’t be appropriate. “I’ll come over later as well,” he said.
Ryder was taken aback. Kallum was leaving the house? All because his wife made a female friend?
After stepping into the Fisher family home, Calista felt uneasy due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of the family. Unlike other affluent households, their home had hardly any servants. The family was harmonious. and joyous, an image of perfect harmony at first glance.
Sensing their goodwill. Calista gradually relaxed, although her face betrayed no sign of it. Tabitha’s parents quietly nodded in approval, impressed by Calista’s poise and refinement. It was clear to them that she was a good child.
After casually asking a few questions, they began their meal. Tabitha’s siblings weren’t home, so there weren’t many people around the dining table.
Tabitha didn’t know who Calista was, but her parents certainly did. Calista had just become the goddaughter of the Fairchild family, and it seemed like she was quite favored by Kallum. She appeared to be knowledgeable and well–mannered, someone worth befriending.
So. Tabitha’s mother said to Tabitha with a smile, “Tabitha, you should really get along well with Callie in the future. Look at her, she’s the same age as you and her grades are so good. You should take a leaf out of her book, understand?”
Whenever the topic of studying came up, Tabitha’s face fell. She muttered, “Got it…”
Then she turned to Calista and said, “Callic, you must visit more often. My son isn’t here today, but I can introduce you to him some other time. He was also very interested in pursuing a career in medical research back then. I’m sure you two will find a lot to talk about…”
This blatant matchmaking attempt left Calista feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Upon seeing this, the man hastily tugged at his wife. “What nonsense are you spouting? You always do this, you’ve scared Tabitha’s friend. Tabitha will definitely blame you for this!”
Tabitha wore a baffled expression as she lifted her head. “What did mom just say?”
Quickly, Calista said, “I’ll definitely be visiting frequently in the future, I hope it won’t be too much of a bother.”
“No, not at all, you are very much welcome here…”
In short, the meal was thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
Adjusting to the new surroundings was a challenge, so Calista took her leave early. Her impression of Tabitha was rather favorable, so she sincerely expressed her intention to visit again. Despite the offer from the Fisher family to provide a car ride home, she politely declined.
After stepping out, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Night had already fallen, with the sky sprinkled with countless stars. The faint scent of osmanthus flowers wafted through the air, bringing a sense of pleasure and contentment to one’s heart.

and he let out a sigh of relief.
“Ms. Calista, let’s head home. Mr. Kallum is waiting for you in the car.”
Calista was startled. “Kallum came?”
She got into the car, startled, and indeed it was Kallum. He had set aside the documents from the Fisher family and spoke with a serious tone. “Because you’ve just become a member of the Fairchild family, people have become so enthusiastic. It worried me, so I came out,”
His words stirred something within Calista, but her typically stoic expression gave nothing away.
However, Kallum was able to notice that her gaze had softened considerably, which made him smile with delight.
On the way back. Calista and Kallum found themselves alone due to the separation of the carriage compartments. It was somewhat awkward. She certainly hadn’t forgotten that she had once stolen a kiss from him in the car…
It was…
“How’s your illness? How do you feel about the recent treatments?”
Of course, Calista knew that results wouldn’t come about so quickly. Without a live test subject like herself, the research was bound to encounter some twists and turns.
Upon hearing this, Kallum responded in a deep voice, “It’s fine, but what about you? Won’t it be too strenuous to give me acupuncture every three days? You’ve been injured again.”
Calista shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Seeing that Kaiser’s lips had turned somewhat pale, Calista couldn’t help but ask, “Does it hurt a lot?”
She remembered clearly, though she was an asymptomatic carrier of the virus, she was not spared from the complications associated with the K Virus. The pain was deeply etched in her memory. The more she took medication and underwent treatment, the more pain she felt internally! She remembered in the later stages, even a slight touch from others felt like a knife was being twisted into her. All this time, she had actually forgotten about finding a way to alleviate Kallum’s pain.
Kallum hadn’t expected Calista to notice. He initially wanted to claim that he wasn’t in pain, but for some reason, he yearned to see a look of concern a’s face. Thus, he subtly furrowed his brows
on
“A bit, but it’s within the realm of endurance,”
Just as she had predicted, it was painful! A hint of frustration appeared on her cold, indifferent face.
“I’ll figure out a way to get you some pain relief medication once we get back. Let’s put it this way, the pain will only get worse. Without it, I’m afraid you won’t be able to endure the subsequent treatments,”
A warmth spread through Kallum’s heart, his Callie was indeed someone with a cool exterior but a warm heart.
His gaze was intensely fixed on Calista, and even in the dimly lit room, his silhouette was still breathtaking.

anesthetic, but you refused.”
Calista gave him a peculiar look, curious as to why he had brought up the subject.

With a gentle laugh, Kallum’s eyes sparkled brightly. “You said back then, a kiss from you would take the pain away. So, if you’re willing to give me a kiss, I might feel a bit better.”
After Kallum finished speaking, he held his breath, watching for Calista’s reaction. He noticed Calista suddenly became guarded, seemingly showing signs of resistance. This, however, was something he had anticipated.
